Substratum: soil. Comment: Hepatica nobilis is another plant which inspires me year after year. It is a very common plant on alkaline limestone-derived soils in west and central Slovenia. One can see it in thousands covering still mostly barren, brown ground of light broadleaved woods in early spring. It is very beautiful in every detail, from intensively coloured petals, tender white filaments with large, sometimes pink stamens to beautifully shaped leaves. The flowers come in very different colours. Most of them are sky-blue to violet-blue, but pink to completely white flowering plants are also not rare. Hepatica nobilis was once used as a medicinal herb to treat liver problems. Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
